    I also took the belt off this morning and checked to see if there is any play in the WP pulley, it seemed pretty firm, almost no movement. I also stuck my finger behind the pulley to see if it was wet and its bone dry ??

    I also found coolant puddled up on the skid plate when looking around by the front of the engine ??

    I have NO idea where this coolant is coming from. The upper elbow look like it may be leaking, but im not sure. Its hard to tell, if it is its definitely not a fast leak. Maybe it only really starts to leak while I'm driving, lets say on the highway? IDK ??

    Even if it was the upper elbow how do i get coolant to puddle up on the skid plate and how did coolant get on the power steering pump?

    Totally lost.....

    Check the water pump bolts, some of the bolts go into water jackets and can seep if not sealed.
